Atami Castle

Atami Castle (熱海城) is a castle-like building located in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The castle was built in 1919 as a summer villa for a wealthy businessman, but it was later converted into a museum and opened to the public.

The castle’s architecture is a blend of traditional Japanese and Western styles, with elements such as a European-style ballroom and a Japanese-style garden. The castle’s interior features displays of traditional Japanese art and crafts, including ceramics, lacquerware, and textiles. Visitors can also experience lifting an actual Japanese sword.

The castle is surrounded by a beautiful garden, which includes a pond, several walking paths, and a tea house. The garden is particularly famous for its cherry blossom trees, which attract many visitors during the spring season.

Atami Castle also offers panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and mountains, making it a popular spot for photography.
